One gateway to Abu Dhabi’s data
Overview
We built a government-grade Data Management Platform that standardizes dataset onboarding, automates approvals, and enables secure inter-agency sharing - complete with embedded Power BI dashboards for real-time reporting.
Behind the Project
The Abu Dhabi DMP is a government initiative to unify how data is classified, governed, and shared. The platform replaces manual, spreadsheet-driven processes with a secure web application that streamlines dataset onboarding, enforces standards, and turns information into actionable insight for departments and decision-makers.• Classify and organize large volumes of datasets across entities
• Enable secure, policy-compliant data sharing and governance
• Standardize metadata and data-quality checks to improve trust
• Reduce manual effort with automated onboarding and approvals
• Provide clear reporting and dashboards for leadership
• Ensure performance, reliability, and scalability at government scale
SoftXPro delivered a web-based Data Management Platform focused on security, usability, and scale.
Key steps:
• Central Catalog & Taxonomy - consistent metadata, data classes, and ownership
• Workflow Automation - dataset submission, validation, QA, and approval routing
• Role-Based Access - granular permissions for publishers, reviewers, and consumers
• Secure Sharing - governed inter-agency data exchange with auditability
• Analytics Layer - embedded Power BI dashboards and exportable reports
• Responsive UX - modern interface optimized for desktop and mobile
• DevOps & QA - CI/CD, monitoring, and automated testing for reliable releases
The Results
• Efficient management - Automated onboarding, validation, and approvals cut manual workload and errors.
• Trusted data - Standardized metadata and QA raise confidence and reuse across departments.
• Faster decisions - Embedded Power BI dashboards surface real-time trends and KPIs.
• Future-ready - Scalable architecture supports new datasets, users, and features with minimal overhead.
